"Having pride in the success Top Gun Kennel
has achieved is far less important then meeting new friends
and having time for the pure enjoyment of hunting wild birds.
We never imagined growing into the
business we have today when starting out looking for that first
great hunting companion," says Steve Ries.
"Many first-time to experienced owners
have proven their training skills at top levels with Jake's
offspring and this is the real reason he earned this title.
We have been fortunate to earn the trust of people who want
more than a hunting dog and enjoy weekend events with standards
that must be met to qualify for titles earned. This award is
a milestone to our kennel and we are honored to receive such
an award."
Ries traveled to Fort Mitchell Kentucky
with his father Charles Ries to receive this award and told
the press that this was the most enjoyable part on the entire
weekend, spending quality time with his father.
